"Marshal, the situation is rather grim. The seal covers an extremely wide area. Beyond the Land of Ruins, it extends outward into the surrounding world.
Based on our investigation, the seal itself has not been damaged. Only the energy-gathering Magic Arrays that sustain its operation have suffered some damage.
Fortunately, it uses a combination of multiple Magic Arrays. Damage to one array will not affect the operation of the others.
The sinking of the underground palace was essentially caused by insufficient energy supply, which was prioritized to keep the seal operational.
If I am not mistaken, the Cursed Land was never cursed at all. What caused the accidents among the local tribes was actually eruptions of energy that had accumulated within the sealed area."
Robert's speculation made Hudson's expression turn grim. If that was true, then the Cursed Land had become an unsolvable problem.
Though difficult to accept, it was already the most reasonable explanation.
If it had been easy to resolve, the Beastfolk would have dealt with it long ago. So many tribes would never have been wiped out.
"Do what we can and leave the rest to fate!
From the information we have gathered, what lies sealed beneath the Land of Ruins is most likely an entrance connecting to another world.
The Calamity of Ten Thousand Years may very well have begun there.
Until we have a definite answer, the seal must never be opened!"
Hudson said helplessly.
Just thinking about it was depressing. There was such a massive ticking bomb right beside his territory. Fortunately, they had discovered it now; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
First, he had guarded the frontier for humanity and blocked the Beastfolk invasion. Now there was also a potential other world to contend with. He truly was humanity's guardian deity.
